Even Mike Penberthy (member him?) was here. He apparently is working w/some players

Some of the players were working out with ex-Laker Mike Penberthy, and even Derek Fisher showed up to get in a light workout. There hasn’t been any information as to what the workouts consisted of, or whether or not Bryant engaged in any physical activity, but it’s good to see that the team is starting to get back together.

Considering the style we'll likely play this year, it wouldn't surprise me to see him hired at some point to work with the guards like Meeks, Young etc on their shooting. Shooting threes was literally all this guy ever did =p And he shot 40% from there or at least close to it.

"Bryant had come to rage against the idea that Howard's clownish disposition could overtake the locker room, the Lakers' culture, and had warned Howard that he would never, ever let it happen."

I wil lsay this if Xavier Henry has made the kind of freaking strides in his game that makes it on this team then I will be thoroughly impressed and surprised.

he is a guy that had the body to do great things as a shooting guard. 6'6 frame, 7 foot wingspan. Could be a defensive pest as well as a shooter. He has all the "physical" tools to do that but he's one of the MANY kids that left college too soon.

I don't think he makes the final 15(depending on what other moves we make)

BUT if he does I will be shocked, and if he shows in pre-season some stuff and doesn't pull an Ebanks, I won't mind it.

Of the non-guaranteed guys we're bringing into camp, I expect Shawne Williams to make the team. (Elias Harris is pretty much guaranteed to make the team)

Henry is meh...

Birdman Jr I'll have to see...

Landry I think is odd-man out

if CDR decides he wants to attend the camp and has "killed his ego" like he said he has recently, then he has a shot as well as he'd probably be the only guy that could actually play 3 as required in this system on our bench.

So all and all, first I want to see the entire lineup of guys the Lakers bring to camp, and then I want to see how they perform in pre-season and in practice.

You could tell from practice and pre-season that Earl Clark was a gem and could be a key defender if asked.

I'll be searching for those kind of "sparks" during this years pre-season.

"Bryant had come to rage against the idea that Howard's clownish disposition could overtake the locker room, the Lakers' culture, and had warned Howard that he would never, ever let it happen."

Majesty, let this CDR thing go, he's had more than enough chances, he was basically given the best oppurtunity a player in his position can be given to make a team, he was set up to succeed, he still failed, again. Let it go.

It's nice to see the band coming together. I hope we get practice videos with as much enthusiasm as last year. That pre-camp I think Kobe MUST be there for, because of his rehab. May help even more actually.
